How I Removed Delta Search Engine From My FireFox Browser

Sometime ago, i downloaded a software which i can’t remember, when installing, i was prompted to install Delta Search but i said NO. after the software installation, my Firefox browser search engine was changed to http://www.delta-search.com with the referral link of the software owner attached. i swiftly uninstall and removed the software, though the Delta search toolbar was remove, but whenever i open a new tab, the Delta search was still displaying.
To remove it, follow the step below..

  1. Enter about:config in your Firefox Address bar.
  2. In the about:config page, enter Delta in the search and hit enter.
  3. You will see all the Firefox settings infected or modified by the Delta Search
    Delta search Firefox about:config
  4. Since it only when i want to open a new tab that the Delta search Engine rises it ugly head, all i did was to reset browser.newtab.url. you can as well modify and change the Delta search URL to the website URL you want to be opening when you open a new tab.
    But for me, i prefer resetting it.
    To Reset or modify, right-click and choose what action to take.
  5. You can decide to reset the other Delta values because there isn’t an option to delete them.
Don’t miss out!
